Chapter 7: Discussion - Uncle Su Er pulled his wife and Old Master Su along...
Uncle Su pulled his wife and Old Man Su away together.
Qiu Yuruo seemed to have recovered somewhat from the blow she had just suffered.
He forced an unnatural smile and thanked the clan leader and the few people who had helped him.
Qiu Yuruo's performance made the Su family members feel that Yunting had married her too late. If he had married her before the family split up, the family's life would be much better now.
Everyone kept these words to themselves, exchanged a few polite words, and then prepared to leave.
Qiu Yuruo waved to the boy who was huddled to the side but blocking the way for her sisters: "Yun Che, come here and see off the elders of each family."
The eleven-year-old boy, who was still small and only half a head taller than his younger sister, came to Qiu Yuruo with red eyes.
Qiu Yuruo lowered her head and said to the little boy, "Although Grandpa and Second Uncle are clear about the differences between us, the clan chief and the elders of each family have not abandoned our family."
Your older brother is sick, but we still have you in our family. Please thank all the elders on your brother's behalf.
After listening to his sister-in-law finish speaking, Su Yunche nodded to himself and then said to the clan chief and the others, "Thank you, grandfathers and uncles, for your concern for our family. The clan has not abandoned us. When I grow up, I will be like my elder brother and bring honor to the clan."
After seeing off the clan leaders who were helping out, Qiu Yuruo took Su Yunting's three younger siblings to clean up the kitchen.
Aunt Shuncai had almost finished cleaning up in the kitchen. Qiu Yuru thanked her again and, seeing a bowl of leftover vegetables in the kitchen, told her to take it home for dinner.
In modern society, where material goods are plentiful, no one would give away someone else's leftovers.
However, food was scarce in ancient times, so the dishes that were removed from the table were definitely the best of the best.
...
After everyone who had helped left, Qiu Yuru closed the door and called to the three siblings to go back to their room together.
Qiu Yuruo first went to the inner room to check on Su Yunting, making sure he was still lying there quietly without vomiting or other discomfort, before looking at Su Yunting's younger brother and sister who had followed her in.
Since their father passed away and their eldest brother fell into a coma, the three of them have been disliked by their grandfather and second uncle as a burden countless times.
The eldest sister-in-law told her younger sister that she would stay at home forever after she married into the family. The three siblings, who had just settled down, became uneasy again because of the argument between the eldest sister-in-law and the second uncle.
Looking at the three guilty siblings, Qiu Yuruo did not say that she had deliberately started a fight with Uncle Su.
Because it's a bit complicated to explain.
From their brief encounter, Qiu Yu Ruo discovered that Su Jing Shu, who was only two years younger than her, still had the mentality of a child. Yun Che and her younger sister, on the other hand, were quite clever, especially Yun Che. If you told him the reason, he would definitely understand.
However, before knowing his true nature, Qiu Yuruo did not intend to discuss anything too profound with him.
So after gathering everyone together, Qiu Yu Ruo didn't mention what had just happened, but first asked them about Su Yun Ting's care.
The situation was pretty much as she had guessed. The two younger sisters were the ones who turned Su Yunting over while he ate, while the younger brother was the one who did the physical work.
Having learned about Su Yunting's care, Qiu Yuruo then inquired about the family's financial situation.
This time, none of the three spoke for a long time.
Qiu Yuruo could only ask, "Is there no more silver in the family's savings?"
The three nodded.
"Do you owe someone money?"
Su Yunche: "We don't owe anyone money. It's just that when the family divided the land, ten mu were given to my grandfather. We moved here, settled the house, and paid for my eldest brother's medical treatment. The money we received was not enough. My mother sold five mu of land. Later, when my mother passed away, we didn't have money for the funeral, so we sold another five mu of land. Now it's all gone."
Qiu Yuruo: "...So, what about the remaining ten acres of land? Will you cultivate them yourself, or..."
Su Yunche: "It was rented out to someone else to grow."
After Su Yunche finished speaking, he took out an oil paper package from his pocket, placed it on the table, and opened it. Inside were the family division documents and property deeds.
He explained, "There were a lot of people coming to my house today, and I was worried that someone might touch my things, so I kept these with me."
Qiu Yuru chuckled inwardly, realizing that just like herself, she only felt at ease when she had important things on her person.
Su Yunche pushed the oil paper package in front of Qiu Yuruo and said, "Sister-in-law, you'll be in charge of the household from now on, so you can keep these things."
Qiu Yuruo: These are the most valuable things in this house, and you just handed them over to me so easily!
We don't know much about Su Yunche's character yet, but at his age, he's quite easy to be deceived!
Just because she said she wouldn't leave, and then had an argument with Uncle Su, he thought she was someone he could trust!
Regardless of their character, they still need to be taught to be wary.
Qiu Yuru cleared the things off the table before saying, "You're handing over your family fortune to me so easily? Aren't you afraid I'll run away with it?"
Su Yunche's expression changed; he really hadn't thought of that question.
Qiu Yu took the things out again and placed them in the middle of the table: "We can't believe what others say. We have to see what they do and the results of their actions."
If someone's words and actions are consistent, it means that their credibility is not in question.
The outcome of one's work reflects the extent of one's ability.
Not only did Yun Che and his siblings listen attentively to what Qiu Yu Ruo said, but Su Yun Ting also listened carefully.
From the moment he first woke up and heard Qiu Yuru arguing with his second uncle's family, to the moment she started educating her younger siblings, Su Yunting realized that Qiu Yuru didn't seem particularly unwilling to marry him.
Her argument with her second uncle was not only to protect the family's interests and educate her younger siblings, but also to fulfill her responsibilities as the eldest sister-in-law.
Su Yunting was pleasantly surprised to realize that Qiu Yu was willing to stay at home and was now facing her future life with a positive attitude.
Since his rebirth, Su Yunting has experienced too much grief and resentment. Qiu Yuruo's arrival brought him a long-lost joy.
This long-awaited absence can actually be traced back to a previous life before I fell into a coma.
Unfortunately, his joy was short-lived. Reason reminded him that even if his wife successfully married into the family, their financial situation would not change, and life would still be difficult.
Su Yunting had no way to express his worries about the future, and no one could discover them.
Su Yunche was moved by Qiu Yuruo's words.
Qiu Yuruo continued, "Put the things away again, and hand them over to me only after you are absolutely certain that I am trustworthy."
Su Yunche looked at Qiu Yuruo and pushed the oil paper package back to her: "I trust my sister-in-law."
Qiu Yuruo: I suddenly realized that I actually have the potential to be a conman.
Su Yunche: "I remember what you just said, sister-in-law. I will not easily trust others in the future. But sister-in-law is different. You are my brother's wife. You are different from others. You are family."
Qiu Yuruo: This kid is something else.
Qiu Yuruo accepted the oil paper package again, officially taking over the family.
Looking at the three beautiful children in front of her, Qiu Yuruo was actually happy.
In her past life, she was an only child; in this life, she has a younger brother who also left her along with their parents.
Because of her grandparents' lack of attention and excessive favoritism, Qiu Yuruo did not have a deep emotional bond with her cousins who had parents.
In the Qiu family, Qiu Yuru lived a dull and dreary life.
Now that she's married into the Su family, regardless of her husband's situation, she's in charge from the moment she enters the household, and she's even given three younger brothers and sisters—things that Qiu Yuruo has always wanted all these years.
Although the family only had ten acres of land and a dilapidated courtyard, the income was barely enough to support the family, let alone pay for Su Yunting's medical treatment.
Then there are the three younger siblings who were given as a gift. The older one has only grown tall and is thin and naive. The two younger ones are clever, but it will be a few more years before they can share the burden of supporting the family.
They were all discarded burdens by Old Man Su and Second Uncle Su, but Qiu Yu Ruo did not despise them. Since she had gained the freedom to be in charge, she should take on the responsibility of raising them.
Since she had to support her family, Qiu Yuruo told the three of them about her idea of setting up a stall to sell food.
Then he said, "I was thinking of setting up a stall at the market, but now that I know your brother can't be left alone, I'll change it to a nearby place. I'm not familiar with the area around the village, so think about it, which area around the village has the highest foot traffic?"
The distance between Qiu Family Village and Su Family Village is not far, only about ten miles apart. However, Qiu Yu Ruo has not been out much and has no relatives in this area, so she is not very familiar with the situation around Su Family Village.
As soon as she finished asking, Su Jingshu said, "The main road is to the east of our house. There are many people coming and going every day. On market days, there are also stalls at the intersection of Shuangmiao Village. It's close to our house. On market days, you can set up a stall there."
Qiu Yuruo: "Let's go take a look tomorrow."
Su Jingshu said, "Okay."
The younger sister got down from her seat, sat next to Qiu Yuruo, and said, "Sister-in-law, I want to go with you too."
Qiu Yuruo also said, "Okay."
The younger sister started chattering about where Shuangmiao Village was, and how someone's maternal grandmother lived there.
The two younger sisters were very enthusiastic, but Su Yunche was more practical. "Setting up a food stall requires capital, but our family has no money left."
Su Yunche's words immediately silenced the joyful scene, and the smiles on the faces of Su Jingshu and her sister disappeared.
Qiu Yuruo replied, "Don't worry, I can take care of the capital."
If Qiu Yu said she could solve the problem, Su Jingshu and her younger sister would be relieved. Thinking that they would have a livelihood in the future and their family's life would be better, happy smiles returned to their faces.
Su Yunche was not as optimistic as they were, but seeing the rare smiles on his sisters' faces, he chose not to ask for the time being.
After settling on the matter of setting up a stall, Qiu Yuru brought up the issue of Su Yunting's care again.
Su Yunting, who was originally wondering how she planned to solve the capital needed for setting up a stall, suddenly felt a blush creep up his face when he heard that she was going to take charge of his personal affairs with her younger brother.
In his previous life, after waking up from a coma, he never married again and never had a maidservant serve him.
After regaining consciousness after being reborn, it was Su's mother who took care of him. Although Su Yunting felt a little embarrassed at the time, she was his biological mother, so it was not difficult for Su Yunting to accept.
Hearing that Qiu Yuruo wanted to take care of him, a long-lost sense of shame suddenly filled his consciousness.
Whether it was due to excessive emotional fluctuations or his unwillingness to face reality, Su Yunting's consciousness slipped back into a coma.
